Dandelion
So, it’s me against the world,
They want me gone, but I refuse to go.
My yellow petals shine like gold,
Though you shout ‘poison’.
Always you’ll tell me off.
Everything about me,
Is never enough.
But what I understand,
My dear human being,
Is you don’t:
See my beauty outside your lines,
Admit that you’re wrong from time to time.
You want to be the captain in control,
But for a minute, can’t you be calm?
This is for the best when,
I say you could be wrong.
A weed is all you think,
In anything you don’t know.
All that I am asking,
Could you make room for one,
In your big heart for me?
A little creature like me?
Together we can grow~
*instrumental*
Okay, it’s just me and you,
Our eyes buzzing with battle stares ><
This fight won’t go anywhere,
I’ll only grow back if you spray.
So just hear me please:
I know I say things you don’t like,
I know you think that I’m never right.
But even if I won’t be your first choice,
Doesn’t mean that I can’t still shine.
Still if we have thick skins,
It won’t move us forward.
Doesn’t matter who’s right,
Black and white blinds our eyes.
What is life really worth?
When rainbows lose color.
In those single seconds,
Fell petal by petal.
Stay with me~

Author's Note
Often, we may clash with other people who do not think like us, or who do not fit within our standards. Perhaps each side will never reach common ground, perhaps they will, but even if the differences keep dividing us, time will tick by and we'll still question ourselves whether so many years of division was worth it.
